Who's counting?

Brooke has been on her mission almost 7 months! I miss her but the time has just flown by. She is happy and healthy and loves the people in Argentina. She has been in San Luis since she arrived, but was recently transferred to Mendoza. She fell into a 6' deep canal one day when it was raining so hard that they couldn't tell the difference between the sidewalk and the street, and a week later they were caught in another bad storm and she said they were wetter than when they fell in the canal. This is a picture of the canal they fell into.


Brittney and Paul both graduated from BYUI on 9 April 2010. Britt in Special Ed, and Paul in Mechanical Engineering. It seems like Britt has been in school for a long time, but since having Avery her class load was reduced for a few semesters. Aside from that we are so proud of her. She passed her portfolio board with no recommendations! and also her student teaching. They said she was very professional. Way to go Britt!

Jeff and I had so much fun with Avery. She is so cute and so smart. She looked at me one day and said, "Grandma, you have blue eyes." I knew she talked alot but was a bit surprised when she said that. She will be two in August. She loves reading books, and spent a good deal of time on Grandpa's lap doing that. We can't wait to see her again (Britt and Paul too) and hope they will make it home for Marshall's graduation in May.
